Flipping Bot

Good point. I knew there was a reason that it would be a stretch.

I'm not sure that this would outlaw playing on your top, so to speak. as long as your inverted position is a legal NORMAL CONFIGURATION, i think you're ok.

I think your NORMAL CONFIGURATION is at least partly defined by the orientation of your team number on the bumpers. Either way, the bumpers would have to occupy the space 10" to 16" from the floor.

Where's that? I see your opponent possibly getting a penalty if they contact you in <G32> (except you won't be trying to right yourself so it probably wouldn't apply), and if you're in the FINALE CONFIGURATION trying to right yourself you'd get a penalty in <G30>b.
